Which one of the following makes provision for eternal hell ?

  • A.Samkara
  • B.Madhva
  • C.Nimbarka
  • D.Vallabha

Answer: B

The thinker who makes a provision for eternal hell is Madhva, so the answer is B.

Madhva's Dvaita teaches an eternal difference of souls and divides them into three classes by nature: those fit for liberation, those who pass through the cycle of rebirth for ever, and those doomed for ever to darkness (andhantamas). The last class is the eternal hell, which no other major Vedantin accepts.

Samkara (A), Nimbarka (C) and Vallabha (D) hold that all souls are finally saved or reach Brahman.
